Parents used child to sell drugs, deputies say

Two Seminole County parents were arrested Thursday and accused of using their child to make drug transactions at their home, deputies said.

Marko Capers, 32, and Kenyata Capers, 35, both face charges of drug possession, trafficking prescription drugs and involving a minor child in the sale of drugs, a Seminole County Sheriff's Office statement said.

The couple lived on the 800 block of Windtree Court near Sanford. Tipsters told detectives that they were selling illegal drugs out of their home and an undercover investigation was launched last September.

Undercover agents with the City County Investigative Bureau in Seminole County visited the home posed as potential drug users and bought drugs from the couple several times.

During one of the controlled purchases, the couple had their 13-year-old son complete the drug sale, deputies said.

Authorities searched the home and found several prescription drugs as well as MDMA, commonly known as "Molly."

Both Marko and Kenyata Capers were denied bail when they appeared before a judge Friday afternoon. They both remained in the Seminole County jail on Saturday.
